Ireland August 2019 (II)

Cliffs of Moher on way to Galway

Ditto

Grave of W.B. Yeats, just north of Sligo

Slieve Leagues, Teelin Co. west of Sligo

Murals in Derry; “Londonderry" if you’re a Unionist.
This is a famous shot of a kid during Bloody Sunday
30 January 1972.  Our guide’s father was killed on the day.
 Reminded us of the protesters in Hong Kong

It's the area of murals. Part of the deal in ending the
Troubles  was that each side got to do murals and
the other side didn’t deface them.  So you get Republican
and Unionist murals check by jowl
